Window shares set up and WD TV Live
Hello guys. I've had my readyNAS duo v1 for a few years now and I just recently bought a WD TV Live box for my TV. Now, I have a bit of a problem as the TV box can't see my readyNAS in window share...

Thanks for that Xeltros. :-) He wrote "How are you trying to play your files, a DNLA Media Server or Windows Shares? ISO's will only play using windows or linux shares."

If you go push the down arrow on "media server" you navigate to "network shares". When you click "enter", you should then see a list of servers (as usual to the right of the "network shares" icon).
That's the problem. It just keeps searching when I click enter on network shares and never gets past the spinning disc. I've looked in the share tab in NAS frontend, and as far I can tell, anonymous acces is allowed but I'm not that comfortable when I start to change things that deep into the setup so I'm hesitant to do trial and error. :-)
Edit: It's a DLNA server as far as I know. :-)
